Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court set aside the Allahabad High Court's order dismissing the appeal under Section 30 of the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1928, due to the lack of reasoning and application of mind in the High Court's decision. The Court emphasized that the High Court failed to address substantial questions of law regarding the employer-employee relationship and the evidence of the deceased's income. The Supreme Court held that a reasoned order is essential for justice and judicial review, thereby remanding the case for proper consideration.
